Depends on how you interpret this. Three couples of teenagers have sex (youngest pair is 14/15yo) and there's rape attempted on a child in season 3.

One of the main characters suffers from depression or anxiety caused by his father's suicide. He takes pills for this and is shown to often have nightmares and sees hallucinations of his father. Another character suffers from anxiety and anxiety attacks. He has a mantra to get through them, but it is clear he suffers from his anxiety.

S1E3 @ 24:45 - 27:00 a drill makes a terrible high pitched sound
High pitched sounds are used throughout the show (but with less intensity and not as bad pitch)

A man complains to a male colleague about his wife not being sexual with him anymore, and the colleague responds with disparaging remarks about wives not being sexual after having kids, but in this case, the wife's disinterest is due to something other than asexuality.

There is a trans lady described as someone's brother, and in an alternate universe they are implied not to be trans (perhaps in the closet, but referred to by what is presumably the dead name of their counterpart)

The ending may seem sad, until you realize that the heroes prevent a nuclear holocaust (though it requires a noble self-sacrifice on two heroes' part).
